You could use `print` instead of `system` and `echo`: `print "\e[36;38mWELCOME\e[37m TO PERLMONKS\n";` [download] And - if you need it more than once - you might want to put the respective ANSI escape sequences in variables, so it's easier to type and read: `my $UL = "\e[36;38m"; my $UE = "\e[37m"; print "${UL}WELCOME$UE TO PERLMONKS\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think it's because it wasn't underlined, or in bold, or somesuch. ;-) p.s. The reason why this matters is because some people, like myself, use CSS to show sigs much lighter than the normal node text, because I find sigs distracting. So if you put your whole text in your "sig", it'll all show up lighter — almost unreadable, and very distracting, to read. Personally I find the fact that the sig in the same textarea as the node when editing, a design mistake on this site.	[reply]
